Barcode scanners can be used to check people into activities in either Assisted or Self modes. Operating in Self mode requires a barcode scanner. If touchscreen check‐in is fast, then barcode scanned check‐in is super‐sonic!
Participants who will check‐in must have a barcode associated with their individual record before they can check‐in.
Note: Barcodes containing 7 digits CANNOT be used!
Examples of barcodes that will work:
The barcode scanner is typically connected to the computer via a USB connection. There is typically no software to install, simply plug in the device and wait for Microsoft Windows to recognize it.
When using barcode scanning in Assisted check‐in mode, ensure you are on the Search screen and scan the barcode number. The individual or household associated with the barcode number appears. Simply check the participants into their correct location as normal.
Check‐in running in Self mode requires participants to use a barcode number. Participants will step to the kiosk, scan the barcode and then be presented with all available activity schedules for all household members. Participants simply touch each schedule they wish to check into.
